Walter Sorrells

Edgar Award-winner Walter Sorrells is the author of well over a dozen novels. His most recent adult novel, The Body Box—written under the pseudonym Lynn Abercrombie—features a pair of detectives from the cold case unit of the Atlanta Police Department.

Sorrells also writes novels for young adults. Fake ID, released last year, was just named one the 10 Best Mysteries of 2005 by Booklist. Fake ID features a girl who has to unlock secrets from her past in order to find her missing mother. The follow-up, Club Dread, has just been released.
A devoted martial artist, Sorrells holds a 3rd degree black belt in Japanese Shito-ryu karate, and has also studied aikido, Tai Chi, various Okinawan kobudo (weapons) systems, and the Japanese sword arts of Iaido and Shinkendo. He lives in Atlanta with his wife Patti and son Jake.

Sorrells is also a part-time swordsmith who specializes in hand forging swords and knives with a Japanese flavor.
